Pmmm Oc - Tumblr Posts
I wanted to try drawing something in the Madoka Magica artsyle, so i came up with this girl! All in all, I think she turned out pretty good.
Another bestie as a magical girl + other outfits
My OC Kikimora as a Meguca <3
I did it again!!! Meet my second PMMM OC: Shinoha Murofushi!
More info below the cut *.✧
Basic Info:
Name: Shinoha Murofushi
Age: 16
Height: 5'6
Wish: "'My ultimate dream could come true'... If that's really the case then, I want to get revenge on those bastards!"
Weapon: Dual Swords
Power: The ability to release attacks used against her back at an enemy*
Soul Gem: Bellflower (*also somewhat looks like a skull) located below the chest, with scales on the bottom of the soul gem
Witch: Nemesis
*She can only absorb attacks that have hit her, and will take damage from anything that hits her. She can store damage for as long as she wants, but when she releases it, every attack she's stores gets released at once. However the attack affected her is how it will affect the target she releases on: Ex. Someone punches her causing a bloody nose, Shinoha releases her damage, and the puncher gains a bloody nose and the pain that caused the bloody nose. Ex2. Someone breaks her arm with a baseball bat, Shinoha releases her damage, and the batter gains a broken arm and the pain of a baseball bat to the arm.
Personality:
She's incredibly standoffish and tries her best to be alone at all times. She rarely leaves her room, and hates going to school. She's quick to judge and mistrust others, and it's incredibly hard for her to lower her guard. She's learned to cut her own hair (due to avoiding leaving the house) and while she has exceptional talent doing so, she has no interest in being a hairdresser. She rarely sleeps, and is always tired. She maintains a perfect poker face, but struggles with violent thoughts and self-loathing: becoming a magical girl has given her an outlet for her struggles, although she gets very brutal in fights. Her favorite food is seafood, and she can't stand the taste of sweet things. Despite her dark thoughts, she's very meek, and seldom voices her opinions and feelings. If she's got a problem with someone, they likely don't know until it's too late. Her downbeat nature means she doesn't have many hobbies; she spends most of her time on her phone, and is a closet idol fanatic.
Design Breakdown:
This design was a challenge and a pain. I struggled A LOT to incorporate her "revenge" wish and find a good theming for it, but all I could really work with was "greek goddess Nemesis" (justice/law/punishment theme). I managed to fit in some wing-like shapes (skirt, swords) but I don't know if it's obvious enough(?) Her hair-circle is meant to look like a halo (angel of punishment theme) but I'm not sure if it just looks like a random circle or an actual halo. I included bellflower motifs because... I have no real reason; nice concept, but I can't draw bellflowers well. Her colour palette was the most difficult part (theming second) because no colours fit her??? I don't know how to describe it, but no colours worked right with her personality (not even black or white). I settled on green with grey hair, but it'll probably change if I ever draw her again. I fear her design is a little to "fantasy" not enough "magical girl" (but that might just be my "ruffles/pink" brainrot). I tried really hard to give her a should cloak, then a caplet, and finally I gave up and just went with the sleeves.
Overall: she was a struggle, and I don't think I got across my theming and motifs well. I might try to redesign her in the future, but for now I'm content with this: I think it's good for my current skill level and her current concept.
Trivia:
She didn't believe in magical girls at all, but after much pestering convincing from Komoe, she unseriously made a wish before becoming a magical girl
Her damage absorbing ability causes her to intentionally endanger herself in fights against witches (possible concept)
Originally her plan was to kill her bullies, but she instead opted to use her power to curse them
She would've liked to be the brooding loner type of magical girl, but Komoe had other plans
She has a mini fridge in her room and it's her favorite thing in the world
It's always dark in her room, so she can see well in the dark (potential plot point later[?])
She's a big fan of spy, action, and mystery movies; and has some form of online review blog
She has a mannequin in her room she vents her frustrations and feelings to (she strongly dislikes showing emotions in public and/or around others)
As much as she's tried to fight it, Komoe often comes to her house with groceries, grief seeds, gifts, and other things to give to Shinoha
Although she was initially very unhappy about becoming a magical girl (she kinda became a magical girl on accident), she's slowly learning to embrace her magical girl persona (and becoming more deranged in the process!)
She named her magical girl swords after her two favorite idols, and has begun a personal sword collection (a goal Komoe helped her set was to eventually forge a sword herself)
She once drank a small bottle of vanilla extract without batting an eye (it was dark, she was tired and didn't feel like reading)
She punts around Inkyuu like a ball
The more I look at Shinoha, the less satisfied I am with her design. I think I'm going to try and redesign her with a clearer theme and colour palette.

Here is the updated Shinoha design & info sheet ✧*。
I'm a lot happier with this design, so please let me know what you think!
More info below the cut
Basic Information:
Name: Shinoha Murofushi
Age: 16
Height: 5'6
Wish: "My ultimate dream could come true... If that's the case, then I want to get revenge on those bastards!"
Weapon: Dual Swords
Power: The ability to store and release attacks back at an enemy*
Soul Gem: Wing (top), scales (bottom)
Witch: Nemesis
*She can only absorb attacks that hit her and still gets hurt from attacks that hit her. She can store damage for as long as she likes, but once she releases it, she will release all damage she has stored. Her releasing an attack back at an attacker will affect the attacker the same way it affected her. Ex: enemy breaks Shinoha's arm, Shinoha releases her damage, enemy's arm is broken and enemy experiences the same pain Shinoha did.
Personality:
She's very standoffish and closed off from other people. She spends as much time in her room as she possibly can to the point of owning a mini fridge and cutting her own hair. She sleeps all day and is most awake at night, however she's always tired. Anytime she leaves the house, she covers up completely in baggy clothes and face masks. Although she has no particular hobbies or interests, she spends a lot of time watching tv and surfing the internet. She rarely speaks to others, and has a habit of judging people. It's very difficult for her to connect with other people, as she's very distrustful and always presumes the worst. She never vocally expresses her problems with people, and bottles up her emotions untill she explodes. Her calm face and meek disposition hides her violent thoughts and self-loathing. Becoming a magical girl has given her an outlet to express her emotions, but she's gradually getting more and more unstable.
Design Breakdown:
For the redesign, I leaned more into the "angel" theming and I think it helped a lot! Her shoes are modeled after ballet shoes (dancers "fly"), and I added white ribbons to give her some more magical girl flair. I managed to get the shoulder cloak working like how I originally wanted to, and added a half green half white wing pattern. The underdress is a simple white dress that's longer in the back; it was inspired by angelcore fashion. Her overdress was originally going to be a darker shade of green, but it looked too similar to her hair colour, and so I used the cloak colour; The shape of the edges is meant to look like rounded wings. I made her hair half green half black and also made it more choppy looking (to add to the fact she cuts her own hair). I think the half/half hair design makes her look a lot cooler and more distinctive, as well as ties her to Komoe more (Komoe has half/half eyes, Shinoha has half/half hair). I fixed her halo ponytail tie, and added a facial scar, and replaced the gloves with cuffs.
The soul gem shape got changed to a wing both due to the stronger angel theming and due to the bellflower not looking very good. The swords are the same (minus colour and shape changes), but I accidentally made the blades slightly too thick!
Trivia:
She didn't believe in magical girls at all, but after much pestering convincing from Komoe, she unseriously made a wish
Her damage absorbing ability causes her to endanger herself in fights
Originally her plan was to kill her bullies, but she opted to torment them with her power instead
Komoe always insists on giving Shinoha grief seeds, groceries, and other gifts
Here's Shinoha's witch, Nemesis!
Profile:
"The witch of punishment, with a vengeful nature.
She endlessly slashes her swords at whoever enters her labrinth: not stopping when they're dead, only stopping when someone new enters. She cannot move her lower body, but yells and thrusts her torso out of rage. Her initial cause for becoming vengeful has been forgotten, but revenge is all she knows now."
establish character with joyous whimsy inflict soul crushing trauma
OH GOD NO THAT'S WHY OH GOD NOT AGAIN
I made this a few days ago and kept forgetting to post it, but here's Komoe's witch Velveteen!
"The witch of holes with a grateful nature.
She longs for the day a magical girl will come and end her. She understands, accepts, and embraces the fate and role of a witch: and happily lures magical girls to her labyrinth. The holes that cover her labyrinth are impossible to navigate in order to force all girls who enter to be or become magical girls to have any hope of escape."
EDIT: Slightly updated colors and textures to make it look nicer!
In addition, a bunch of sketches in varying degrees of freshness with the Madoka OCs. Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to re-photograph some of them, but I tried to edit it more or less.
Actually, all of this wasn't planned for posting, I was persuaded, so there are a lot of mistakes here, but dang it.
Probably, since I'm throwing it in, I should say a few words about who they are. I won't go into Madoka's lore here, but there are some spoilers.
The first girl, Jakki, sold her soul to talk to someone. In general, it isn't surprising, having been born as part of a sect that worships Kyubey, she spent her entire childhood memorizing mantras that the pleasures of ordinary people are not for her rank, and in general she cannot enjoy life, and communicate with people outside the sect either, because she lives only in order to die one fine day for the greater good. She made a contract, but didn't endured this for a long time, realized that she did not want to die for the sake of energy economics and turned into a witch. Now Jakki is convinced that she is in her own personal Hell and deserves all her torment.
The second girl, Kimiko, also doesn't have the best relationship with the Incubators. She made a contract back in the days when samurai were relevant, but has not yet turned because her wish included the inability to harm people, which means that becoming a witch is impossible for her. Instead, she turns into a doppel, and this cleans her.
Kimiko is a girl with very weak magical potential, who compensates for this by not shying away from using brute physical force, wearing armor and devoting all her time to improving her skills and finding new ways to use her abilities. Over the years, she has become skilled at killing witches and has become a problem for Kyubey, since she cleaned out important members of their energy pyramid too quickly. Now they periodically persuade other girls to try to hunt her.
The hood lady - Tsukimi, is just one of these hunters. She's not very good at long-range combat, but is excellent at tracking and spying. A fairly short time after concluding her contract, she decided to simply rob other girls rather than go into battle herself, and by doing so she not only takes away precious resources, but also brings the loss of faith in others closer, so PG&E Corporation really likes her. Unfortunately, they didn't expect that Kimiko would be able to buy Tsukimi over to her side.
